Most usefull feature 2 HDMI inputs ? for the last three years Sony BD players do have 2 HDMI inputs, hope it also includes SACD.
According to the tech specs on Sony site it does support SACD:Most usefull feature 2 HDMI inputs ? for the last three years Sony BD players do have 2 HDMI inputs, hope it also includes SACD.
I've read elsewhere that the X800 won't have Dolby Vision. If true wouldn't the X800 designers have been wise to liase with the TV division as well as Sony Pictures.
Thought this player was only available for custom home theater installers and not the general pubic...???
I don't know what makes you think that as it's on sony's website.Thought this player was only available for custom home theater installers and not the general pubic...???
That's the X1000ES. This is a different general consumer/retail aimed model, so Sony will have two players this year.
The second I buy a bloody panasonic, you make it really hard to support you Sony....
Ah well I need two players, right?
Wonder why a 4k spinner was omitted in the ps4 pro then?
It must've have twisted your gourd that Sony has adopted Dolby Vision for its TVs, I know it has mine! I'm still flabbergasted.The second I buy a bloody panasonic, you make it really hard to support you Sony....

Sony hardware and sony software are not the same things.It must've have twisted your gourd that Sony has adopted Dolby Vision for its TVs, I know it has mine! I'm still flabbergasted.
SACD, dvd audio and Sony's processing is more my thing tbhMight turn out the Panasonic is the better player anyway?
I didn't say they were, but given that you've made your feelings about Sony (love 'em) and about Dolby ("struggling for relevance", I believe it was) perfectly clear in the past I wondered how you felt about Sony going over to the dark side?Sony hardware and sony software are not the same things.
They need to keep up

According to the tech specs on Sony site it does support SACD:
"The ultimate disc drive
Want to dance around to your Super Audio CD collection? No problem. If it’s a disc, the UBP-X800 will almost certainly be able to play it."
Sony Pictures have already released loads of Ultra HD Blu-rays.does this mean Sony will start issuing UHD disks? hopefully.
No it doesn't support Dolby Vision, which is incredible when you consider that Sony's latest TVs do!I've read elsewhere that the X800 won't have Dolby Vision. If true wouldn't the X800 designers have been wise to liase with the TV division as well as Sony Pictures.
I don't think the player can play SACD disc, there was definitely no mention of this at the Sony stand, nor was the SACD logo on the player itself.According to the tech specs on Sony site it does support SACD:
